I can’t believe it’s been 25 years since he died; it's the most hard-hitting celebrity death of my lifetime and it's confirmed every year when I realize not only do I love The Ramones' music even more than ever, but it's still Joey who pops into my head whenever I start getting down on myself, that I'm a loser and everybody hates me and all the rest, and it picks me right back up again.
As I update every year:
If he can go from being told he’d always be a total nothing to someone whose life 25 years after his death is rolling down the hill picking up more & more meaning like snow on a snowball, then maybe the rest of us can too, no matter how we start out. Roll on, everybody. 4.15.2001
